One of the best measures of a person’s level of RV mastery is how you use your available space. Whether you’re a Class A cruiser or a microcamper, no RV road warrior wants to head out on the road surrounded by chaos. You also need to be ready for whatever the road throws at you, and that means more gear stuffed in more places. That’s why for the true RV master, every cubic Planck matters.
Now, did I Google “smallest known unit of measurement” to find that term? Yes, I did, but that’s neither here nor there. What is important: You need to see these five space savers to find out new ways to hide things both here and there.
Broom and Mop Wall Holders
Maximize unused wall space.
There are two primary storage hacks for making the most out of your RV storage: Go vertical and find the secret storage. This MCOMCE 4-pack of broom and mop wall holders helps you do both. The sturdy attachment point helps you sneak utility out of any wall, as these will hold anything with a broom-sized handle.
Don’t limit yourself, though. They’ll even hold up something as heavy as a bike. (See Amazon’s comments for proof!). And if you’re creative with where you hide them, like hanging your dust pan in the bottom half of a closet, you can capitalize on previously untouched wall space. Double bonus!

Under Bed Storage Bags
Make your storage space more effective.
If you’ve been RVing for more than a weekend, you know there’s storage space under your bed. What you may not know is how to best utilize it without it turning into a cacophony of clutter. Because if you’re like me, the under bed is much like the universe: It tends toward disorder.
These convenient Budding Joy 90-liter under bed storage containers serve the same function as drawers in a dresser. They bring structure to an otherwise formless void, giving you options for categorizing by clothing type, or by season, or whatever system works for you. They also make it easy to pull stuff in and out without disruption to the rest of your stored goods.
In other words, they help you fight off the creeping entropy of the under bed, bringing maximum convenience to what would otherwise be a Place To Randomly Stuff All the Things.

Space Saving Hangers
Store more. It’s as simple as that.
Why more people aren’t using these House Day space-saving hangers in their stationary homes is beyond me. I might not be great at math (I’m more of a words guy), but if I can store five shirts in the same amount of space as one shirt, that’s an equation even I can handle.
That’s why in the RV or camper, they’re a flat-out no-brainer. And more is better. With over 32,000 reviews, this 10-pack of heavy-duty closet organizers brings reliability along with utility. Remember: Whenever possible, go vertical.

Over-the-Door Shoe Organizer
Leave no cubic Planck behind (the door).
I admit it. I feel lost without an appropriate number of footwear options. Whatever that says about me, I’m OK with it. Because the beauty of RVing is that you never know what your next parking space is going to bring. My wife and I love to sneak in a great dinner in the middle of a long haul. But we also love a dusty old trail with maybe a creek or two to frolic in. These options demand shoe choices.
Fortunately, with this over-the-door shoe organizer from Sleeping Lamb, I don’t have to choose between form or function in my shoe wear. I get it all. The organizer’s oversized pockets easily handle my waterproof Merrell hiking boots, and with its huge overall size, I can easily fit a dozen or more pairs of shoes. Even better: Because the organizer has just one long pocket per row instead of individual single-shoe pockets, I can store hats, gloves, socks, ski masks, compression gear, watches, wallets … you get the idea. It’s versatile. And in the RV life, versatility is clutch.

Vacuum Storage Bags for Long-Term and Off-Season Items
Make up to 80% more out of storage space.
It’s like the old saying goes … To err is human. To de-air is di-vine. When you only have a camper’s worth of storage options, vacuum-sealing items like blankets, sheets, pillows, jackets and other clothing can be a game changer, reducing the amount of storage space required by up to 80 percent according to the manufacturers of this go-to storage solution.
As of this review, it’s the No. 1 Best Seller in Space Saver Bags on Amazon for a reason — a LOT of people like it. With 20 bags included in five different sizes, you’ll have plenty of space for your off-season’s worth of gear. And they’re effective enough that one reviewer called them, “A life saver.” So, grab this storage solution and make sure you’re sucking every cubic Planck’s worth of air out of those storage bags. RV mastery is within reach!
